How to make friends?

I've I'm a part time student at college and I work at a daycare. I technically have five friends. Two of them aren't my friend's anymore, one of them doesn't seem to want to be friends if he can't have more than that, the other is probably playing mind games with me and well the fifth one is actually a friend. We can't hang out allot though because she's busy with schoolwork and stuff. Plus she doesn't live near me. Though that’s not a problem. I want to make two more friends who I can talk to and hang and do stuff with but I don't know how to. I was in counseling for a while and just recently got out. My councellor and I agreed that I'm ok now and don't need ongoing therapy. She said if I get a big enough issue that I can't handle then give her a call. Just when I think things are going kool with me in terms of friendship, it's seemingly backfiring. *sigh* How can I make friends at my school? Do I just go and start conversations with random people? I don't know.

You could 'make things happen' - sit next to a classmate when eating lunch and start from there. Or on the bus, or elsewhere - where people from your school show up. Yes, you could easily start a conversation, take things slowly, try to find a common interest you can talk about and take it from there. Don't feel you HAVE TO make friends, go with the flow, try to take it easy.
